Askin Jerald, DPM

Thorough, attentive, accessible, and careful, are just a few words that begin to describe Dr. Jerald Askin. Fortunate is an understatement in terms of us finding Dr. Askin. Short of a miracle we were truly blessed to be seen by Dr. Askin last minute. My 10 year-​old daughter had a horrible ingrown toenail and cyst like growth. Not only was he very thorough in his explanations of his planned treatments for my daughter, he was also very patient with her fear of needles and the overall treatment process. I highly recommend Dr. Askin, he’s so knowledgable you definitely know you’re under great care. He and his office staff are excellent at multitasking while still providing optimal care. He even took the time to call me the next day to follow up and ask me how everything was going. Outstanding medical professionalism at its best!

I met Dr. Askin because he is a part of the veterans choice network which is an outside provider that helps veterans with medical treatment.
In typical VA fashion, I was given authorization by veterans choice to have four office visits but I didn’t have any authorization to have foot x-​rays or to get shots or to do anything other than taping my foot.
Dr. Askin is no stranger to helping veterans and he was able to tape my foot which is a technique that he uses to retrain your feet to walk as I understand it.
After going and seeing him for four weeks in a row my foot feels way better.
I mean like magic proof it’s all better!!!
I have been walking around in pain for about six months now trying to figure out what’s wrong with my foot.
At this juncture we are still waiting for the VA to give authorization so I can do some of the other things that are necessary such as orthotics. In the meantime I am able to go from week to week pain free which is really what this is all about.
I give no thanks to the VA or veterans choice for being so worthless but I give five stars to Dr. Askin for being a rockstar and being very understanding.
